{"title":"Tower Bolts","description":"\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003etower bolt\u003c\/strong\u003e - also known as a barrel bolt or sliding bolt - is the classic manually operated security bolt used on doors, gates, and access panels to provide a simple, positive lock-off that requires no key. At the \u003cstrong\u003eDIY Hardware Store\u003c\/strong\u003e, our tower bolts cover the standard and heavy-duty formats used on external doors, sheds, gates, and internal rooms requiring a manual security fastening across the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tower bolt consists of a rectangular or cylindrical bolt that slides horizontally within a surface-mounted housing, engaging into a keep or loop plate fixed to the door frame. Unlike a barrel bolt (which uses a round cylindrical bolt), a tower bolt uses a rectangular section bolt that is wider than it is tall, providing better resistance to vertical loads and a more positive engagement in the keep. They're used as additional security fixings on external doors, as the primary lock on shed doors and garage side doors, and as privacy bolts on bathroom and bedroom doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in zinc-plated, galvanised, brass, and black finishes at the DIY Hardware Store, in sizes from 100mm through to 600mm for different door and gate widths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangular bolt slides horizontally in surface-mounted housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo key required - simple manual lock-off operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed on external doors, sheds, gates, and privacy rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated, galvanised, brass, and black finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100mm to 600mm sizes for different applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional security alongside main door lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"tower-bolts-straight-cranked","title":"Tower Bolt -Straight and Cranked","description":"\u003cp\u003eSecure your doors and gates with classic reliability using our Tower Bolt, available in both Straight and Cranked designs.
